School Animals[]

Animals kept in the animal pens in the school. They are taken care of by the students as one of the jobs they are assigned to.
Known animals kept in the pens are rabbits, chickens, parrots, and budgies.

Appearance[]

Rabbits seen so far have been spotted pale brown and white, pale gray, beige with darker points, white with red eyes, and black with a white muzzle, chest, and paws.
The only chicken seen so far was a brown rooster.

Trivia[]

Mao has explained that "the duty for cleaning the animal cages rotates among the clubs".^[2]
When Shinobu has free time, he visits the rabbits and cleans their cage.
Hokuto names one of the rabbits Daifuku because it's "white and plump". However, he doesn't call it that to its face, since other students are concerned that it will start to only respond to that name and not listen to others.^[3]
Nagisa helped take care of the rabbits during his second year, naming them after a variety of characters from Alice in Wonderland.^[4]

Little John and Nyaitsu[]

An assumed-stray cat on campus that Leo and Keito befriended during their time in the Archery Club.

Appearance[]

Little John is a large gray mackerel tabby with olive eyes and darker gray stripes.
She has five kittens, but only four have been shown.
- One is pure white.
- One is ginger with darker stripes, dark amber eyes, and a white belly and socks.
- One is dark gray with darker stripes, blue eyes, and a white belly with black socks.
- One is a calico with dark amber eyes.

Trivia[]

Little John is named after a character from Robin Hood who, like Little John the cat, has a large frame.^[5]
The kittens are named after the members of Knights in Robin Hood according to Leo's nicknames and Tsukasa's addition; Sena, Rittsu, Naru, Suo~, and Leo. Together they are "Nyaitsu".
Leo points out that the kittens reflect the personalities of their namesakes. Rittsu is always sleeping, Naru is constantly staring at their reflection on the floor, Sena moves around a lot as if they're on a diet and Suo~ is rowdy, jumping on the Sena kitten.^[6]
Leo, the kitten, is very attached to Tsukasa and prefers his company over Leo, much to his displeasure.^[7]
According to Keito, Little John's kittens have been rehomed^[8] and are blessed with good foster parents.^[9]
Likewise, in the idol story Like A Wind, Like A Cat, it is stated that Little John currently lives in a foster home a couple stations away from Yumenosaki. Free-spirited like Leo, as Tsukasa compares, she has been known to run away and find her way back to the Archery Club. Yuzuru describes it as a homing instinct.
As of !!-era, Tsukasa notes that Little John is much sweeter to him now, claiming that she used to attack him aggressively.^[10]

Other Stray Cats[]

Multiple stray cats are often found on campus by the students.

Appearance[]

Their appearances vary.

Trivia[]

In Sweet & Bitter, Leo instructs Tomoya to name the stray cat he was playing with. He named it Chocolat, and Leo nicknames it Choco for short. Its appearance is shown in (Bittersweet) Izumi Sena's unbloomed.
A cat visits the Yumenosaki campus every week on Thursday. The students try to guess where it will appear each time. This is seen in Arashi and Madara's Thursday Special Events.
In Love Collector, Tsukasa is shown to be playing with a cat. When Arashi questions if it is owned by the Archery Club, Tsukasa replies that he happened upon it by chance and that it had no collar, indicating that it must be a stray. He uses Little John's leftover supplies to feed and play with it.^[11] Its appearance is shown in (Sincere Love) Tsukasa Suou's unbloomed.

Dartanyan[]

A stray cat that grew attached to Knights, especially Ritsu, and started clinging to him. It was eventually adopted by one of the junior members of Knights.

Appearance[]

Dartanyan is a pure black cat.
It wears a red collar and its fur is mentioned to look surprisingly clean for a stray cat.

Trivia[]

The name "Dartanyan" is a reference to D'Artagnan from The Three Musketeers, as well as nyan, the sound a cat makes.

Gallery[]

Hokuto Senpai[]

A penguin belonging to the manager of a pet store. In ANIMALS, Tomoya was asked to take care of him while his owner was abroad. During his time abroad, however, the owner was bitten by an exotic snake and had to prolong his stay for an indefinite amount of time, leaving Hokuto Senpai in Tomoya’s care for the foreseeable future.

Appearance[]

Hokuto Senpai is a black-and-white penguin with orange around his cheeks and on his beak.
He appears to be a king penguin.

Trivia[]

Tomoya originally called the penguin "Pen-pen", but he would only listen to Tomoya if he used keigo (honorific language), causing him to end up having to borrow the name he calls Hokuto for the penguin (which Hokuto is not particularly happy about).

Riding Club Horses[]

Horses mentioned in the story Cheval Live. The riding club is an off-grounds establishment that Tsukasa frequents. It is notably high-class.

Appearance[]

Despite its name, Tsukasa's horse, Golden, is brown with tan riding gear.
Arashi is seen with two horses. One that is brown with black riding gear, and another that is white with a blonde mane and similar gear.
Ritsu's horse is brown with black riding gear.

Trivia[]

Golden's original name, as of the Suou family, is Kintarou (金太郎) lit. "Golden Boy," but Tsukasa finds the name uncool and prefers to call it by an English equivalent. As Golden is noted to be strong and daunting, though very docile in nature, the horse was presumably named after the legend of Kintarou from Japanese folklore rather than a commentary on its appearance.
Arashi calls the horses Ouma-san (お馬さん), which is a cute and childish way to refer to a horse (馬). It commonly gets translated to "Horsey."
In Tsukasa's Normal Event talk, it is mentioned that Arashi's horse is named "Pony." This is presumably the white horse with a blonde mane.
Pony is noted to be Anzu's favorite as well.
